2008 Colorado election preview: State House races

By Jeremy Pelzer, PolitickerCO.com Reporter

In a year that looks pretty good for Democrats, Republicans will be hard-pressed to make a big dent in the Democrats' 15-seat majority in the state House of Representatives.

But that doesn't mean all is lost for the GOP. House District 40 looks virtually certain to return to the Republicans, one year after Debbie Stafford turned rogue and delivered it into Democrats' hands.

There also appear to be a number of close races shaping up, the most interesting of these being House Districts 25, 27, 29, 30, 31, 37, and 56.

By Jeremy Pelzer, PolitickerCO.com Reporter

[img_assist|nid=1960|title=Court|desc=|link=none|align=left|width=184|height=187]Asked why she won Tuesday's state House District 6 Democratic primary, Lois Court  didn't hesitate.

"I rejected special interest money and I accepted the spending limit," Court told PolitickerCO.com.
